A Gentle, Intuitive Approach to Women’s Wellness
Tiny Pins was created with one purpose: to give women a place to heal deeply — emotionally, physically, and energetically — through natural, time-tested medicine.
Here, healing is never rushed. Your body is honored for where it is, and each treatment is carefully chosen to support your unique constitution, life stage, and goals. Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, recovering postpartum, or simply seeking balance in your everyday life, Tiny Pins offers a nurturing space where you can soften, breathe, and return to yourself.
Ellie Barrett is a licensed acupuncturist and Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine with more than 30 years of experience in holistic health, women’s wellness, and integrative healing arts. Her lifelong commitment to caring for women and families has shaped a career rich in depth, compassion, and clinical expertise.
Ellie specializes in women’s health, fertility support, pelvic medicine, and infant craniosacral therapy. Her background is uniquely comprehensive—spanning acupuncture and East Asian medicine, clinical herbalism, midwifery, Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy, Holistic Pelvic Care™, pediatric craniosacral therapy, esoteric acupuncture, facial rejuvenation, and traditional healing modalities. She weaves these disciplines together to create treatments that are gentle, intuitive, and deeply individualized.
As a former midwife, childbirth educator, lactation consultant, and longtime advocate for maternal health, Ellie brings a rare understanding of the female body and lifecycle into every session. Her clinical approach is grounded in respect for the body’s innate wisdom and the belief that healing occurs most naturally when patients feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Whether working with fertility, hormone balance, pelvic wellness, emotional health, or whole-body vitality, Ellie is dedicated to providing care that is warm, skillful, trauma-informed, and rooted in a deep commitment to community.
